Civic Democratic Alliance

The Civic Democratic Alliance (ODA) was a conservative-liberal political party in the Czech Republic that was active from 1990 to 2007. The party was founded shortly after the Velvet Revolution, with its founding members including conservative-liberal intellectual readers of the British conservative magazine The Salisbury Review and opponents of Vaclav Klaus and his Civic Democratic Party. The party was supported by Vaclav Havel, and it took part in right-wing coalition governments. However, funding problems led to the ODA becoming the weakest coalition partner, and it ceased activity in 2007.
